Maybe he's going to do a real "HE MAN" and get a Unimog.

And then he finally can make it thru that bog hole in Wonnangatta without getting his feet wet

I am just waiting till the show is on at Sandown racecourse where parking is for free.

The mog in that picture belonged to Arnie, now how could you go past the mog?

Yer want an early Gu, becoming to costly to modify my car to where I want it, will try and get some decent money for mine while I still can. Funny thing is mark I saw a brand new 4door one (trade plates) come out of the merc truck dealership today! Only problem is I wouldn't be able to get it into the Wonnangatta or anywhere else for that matter

down grade is right, why not do it properly and get a Land Rover, then you can go anywhere a locked Pootrol with 35's will go but with 32's no lockers and you wont have it stolen or harassed by the boys in blue ;-)

Have you forgotten what happened on the trip in yackandandah matt?

They are about 20cm wider than a 79, but yeah they look sooooo much bigger, and yeah a lot higher, so low hanging trees will frigg you up. An ex army one for 30k and away you go. std diff locks front and rear too.

Don't forget firetrucks go basically everywhere the small 4 wheelers do so I don't know why people say a mog can't get into places.

No still remember, had to winch everywhere the others had to winch, except for Peter, have never seen him pull a winch... and didn't do Long Tom but that wasn't the car as much as it was the driver still battling demons from a very scarey previous accident

Well get a Mog and you have half a metre clearance, you can drive up tracks others cant and sit at the top drinking beer pissing yourself laughing at the clowns scrambling up.

BUT I'd still prefer an M113 I really did love those
